This is yet again another phenomenal read by this author and I will definitely be looking forward to reading more from you
I love this series. It’s full of twist and turns and suspense.
These books always keep me gripped on the edge of my seat everytime. The emotions are raw and real.
I really want the next book to continue.
Detective Paige Hood has a very dangerous stalker and the person just won’t give up trying to kill her. When she is given some good news about a possible adoption of two girls, Hayley and Arianna, she is torn as she doesn’t want to put them at risk when someone is still after her.
Faith Smith has been kidnapped and her boyfriend Bobby Kirk knows that she would never run off when everything is going well for her. When 4 other girls are missing as well can the case be connected?
As Detective Xavier Montague struggles with his personal life, he must put everything aside to work with Detectives Jack and Ryan Xander to figure who the kidnapper is before it’s too late. How far will the kidnapper go to get his message heard?
This is such a great series and I love how all of the books tie in and follow the specific time frame.
I was very nervous for Paige in this book as I knew her stalker would never stop trying to kill her. The reader finds out who it is in the previous book but you don’t know where he is at the end of the book. I was so happy that she was getting a chance at adopting Hayley and Arianna as she truly deserved some happiness.
The story of the girls was so twisted as each of the girls had been through something traumatic and so I was so surprised at what the kidnapper was doing. He was saying that he wanted the police to do more but then his actions were so evil that I was blown away and my heart broke for these poor girls.
Every time you think you have things figured out the author throws a twist at you and makes you go in a different path. I loved that it was hard to have things figured out before you discovered your thought process was completely wrong.
OMG – the twist at the end with Annabelle was something I was not expecting at all! I love that the author continues to surprise me in every book and I am always blown away!
The very end was so heartwarming, and I seriously can’t wait for the next book!! – By Rebecca
This one is the one that will pull out all the stops and bring you to the edge. It has too because it picks up from there to take you in a different direction. Consequences are revealed in this with us following Annabelle and Xavier. Suspense runs high with this like a fever. You turn page after page with things feeling like a bomb ticking ready to go off at any minute. This author will weave you into this one with no way out until the answers are given. You are also able to have your emotions strummed like a fine guitar which is the talent of the writing. This was one series worth it from beginning to end.
I love these characters in the Count to Ten series and when they hurt, I hurt right along with them. In Six, Paige is struggling to have a life. The unexpected happens and her life is thrown in another loop. Can this woman ever get a break? But her strength and inner soul will have you rooting for her through and through. Annabelle had made me crazy when she decided to shut out Xavier. These two had to stay together. So those are my initial thoughts starting the book. The horror that the new characters went through and the ending was not what I wanted to happen. This is a very good thing. We can’t have every story ending with hearts and flowers.
Six will bring you full suspense, drama, and some blood and gory details. It’s the strength that these characters have and all the love they share that makes you feel protective of them. Six kept me glued to the pages late into the night. I woke up the next day with a huge book hangover! We only have 4 books left in this series!!! What happens next is anyone’s guess!
The urgency and action from the opening words, kept me hanging on each and every one! I love when an author engages me quickly with riveting action and Jane Blythe does that so well.
Six by Jane Blythe picks up where Five left off, but there is a recap, so this can stand alone. I have loved each and every book in this series, so if you are just beginning, I recommend starting with One.
Five ended in a fabulous cliffhanger that left me hanging by my fingernails and desperate to get my hands on Six. Paige is a good cop, confident in her ability to take care of herself. But…she is wrong. Why was she on her own? She knows there is a stalker after her and he gets more dangerous by the minute.
I love that so much is going on in the Count to Ten series. I am pushed and pulled to this character, then that character, wishing, hoping, sometimes knowing where the story is heading and happy to be going there.
Annabelle, her insecurities make it impossible for her to trust, to believe that she is deserving of Detective Xavier Montague’s love. I think Annabelle gets so frightened that the fight or flight instinct kick in and she tends to run. And I would like to slap him upside the head for letting her walk out the door. I can see why he says enough is enough, he is not going after her again, but if you love someone, don’t you chase after them? Will he?
I believe sweet Hayley will tug at your heartstrings, just like she did mine.
The women…and their loved ones…horror upon horror heaped on them by lunatics. Jane has no problem killing off her characters, because when one is crushed, there is always another sicko to pop up and haunt them.
Will my friends ever have a happy ever after?
The Count to Ten series is jam packed full of memorable characters that make repeat performances in subsequent stories. I feel so invested in their lives and they feel as if they could be friends of mine. Both the characters and the storylines keep me reading. The pacing of the suspense keeps mounting making me eager to know what happens next, yet not wanting to get to the end. The writing is intense. I find myself tense, muscles tight, leaning forward as if that will allow me to read faster.
Six is a book that keeps on giving…love and hate…suspense and mystery…
I love deep, dark suspense and Six by Jane Blythe delivers in spades.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of Six by Jane Blythe.

Holy smokes! What a book! This book takes you on one hell of a rollercoaster ride. The suspense is off the charts and so much happens. It had my head in a total spin. Really enjoyed
Six picks up right where Five left off which I really loved because of how it had ended. There was so much happening in this book that I was kept on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Suspenseful, thrilling, terrifying and action packed!!
This book is now my new favorite of the series, it brings the past couples back to deal with the events occurring. As like in her other bookstore this series this was chalk full of suspense and mystery and you had no idea what was lurking next around the corner.
If I ever met any of these women, I would run far far away in the other direction! How much trauma can one person take? We get the answer to the cliffhanger from Five and it’s a good one! There’s so many twists and WHOA!! moments in this book! I did not see any of it coming. The new bad guy, The Protector, is a different take on a bad guy! I’m not giving anything away, this was a fast crazy train of drama, action and the best one of the series so far!
Wasn’t sure what to expect after the ending of Five, but holey smokes certainly wasn’t expecting what we got. IT WAS SO MUCH MORE!!!
So much was packet into this epic book your head will be spinning!
4*
I really couldn’t wait to start six as I’ve enjoyed reading the previous books in the series.
Book six definitely doesn’t disappoint.
When the call comes in that a Woman who attends a support group helping people cope with trauma in their lives the Detectives are battling to find answers.
Has Faith been taken alone or have the other females also been taken from the group?
Ruby, Ava, Vanessa, Mackenzie.
Another fabulous book which has plenty of twist and turns throughout. I love how the characters from the previous books in the series appear.
I can’t wait to see what is in store in book seven
Great series
Oh boy, another exciting start but after that cliffhanger finish in Five, I knew it was going to be a ‘hold your breath’ time!
The Protector is an extremely unusual character. Please whatever you do, don’t call him a monster! But that’s what he is even though he too has suffered trauma in the past. Abducting women, chaining them up and keeping them is not healthy.
There are so many emotions explored in this book. A joyous feeling of pure love and contentment that literally wraps around your heart makes you take a step back from all of the suspense and fear in other scenes, from the despair of the victims, both past and present, trying to cope with their suffering. And hokey pokey does Paige deserve it!
Aha! Annabelle starts to see the light and is willing to try harder for her relationship with Xavier to work, although I understood why he reacted the way he did I actually felt sorry for her this time. She, the poor girl, gets quite a lot of my sympathy due to even more trauma and I found myself liking her a whole lot more in this book. A lot of growth happens in this story.
Drama and action abounds aplenty in this book and I have to say it again, I was on the edge of my seat with my heart thumping waiting to see what was going to happen next. Riveting stuff that hooks you in and keeps you absorbed from start to finish.
Omg i absolutely loved this book wow I don’t know what to say but give me more please I need more I can’t wait to find out what happens next
Another edge of your seat read. Full of twist and turns, emotions of every kind, dark and intense. For everyone I read in this series the more I need. This author really knows how to pull you in and keep you there and she doesn’t hold anything back. The lives of these people are constantly in turmoil and tragedy but while they try and figure it out more from the past sneaks up and makes more twist. Amazing read that will keep you wanting more and more.
Wow! That was one wild and crazy ride on Spider-Man’s web! Five women from a support group that have survived violent crimes have been kidnapped. The kidnapper doesn’t feel as though the police are doing their jobs solving crimes throughout the city. Therefore, he, being the “Superhero” , will just have to show them.
Detective Ryan is concerned when Annabelle walks out of his life after five years so she can be on her own. They still love each other but it takes trust in order for relationships to work.
Poor Paige. That woman has suffered so much. Trapped in a car in the river by her stalker, with only seconds to live.
Ryan receives email videos from the kidnapper of how he takes the women’s pain away.
Annabelle is missing! Is she in the killer’s next victim? Detective Ryan figures out the motive behind Sophia and Paige’s stalker(s).
Annabelle finally puts the pieces together as to what happened to her when she was four years old.
Jane Blythe really knows how to write a suspenseful thriller! On to book 7!
I don’t know how these women are not traumatized for life the way stuff continues to happen to them. Sometimes the incidents are related to cases but most tie deep dark secrets in their past. In this case there’s some bad blood and blackmail covering the families dark secrets. In the meantime discovering a serial killer and uncovering the location of missing women is the priority right behind keeping their wives and partner safe. Tons of action and revelations, this author most definitely keeps you busy tracking all of it. This is a great series sometimes with action flowing into the next book and sometimes it’s a standalone. Either way this is a really good series to binge read.
